About:

SavannahLion of HLPD has ported my HLLib library to Linux. The port has been dubbed libhl and contains a HLExtract clone Slatch.

Download:

• HLPD

The link appears to be dead; the website says it's still there... but it redirects to a page that doesn't exist.

I wrote a small cmake build system for the Linux port (who knows, maybe it works also under other operating systems):
http://twoday.tuwien.ac.at/pub/files/hllib-cmake

Usage:
unzip hllib242.zip
unzip hllib-cmake.zip
mkdir HLLib-build
cd HLLib-build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../HLLib
make -j2 && sudo make install
sudo ldconfig # <- don't know if this is really needed
mkdir HLExtract-build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../HLExtract
make -j2 && sudo make install

If you install HLLib somewhere else than /usr also pass -DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH=$PREFIX/cmake/modules to the second cmake call.

This installs following files into your $CMAKE_INSTALL_PATH:
lib/libhllib.so
lib/libhllib.so.2.3.0
include/hllib/hl.h
bin/hlextract

Note: There are many warnings when compiling HLLib. Some of them seem to me potentially serious (using uninitialized variables, crazy casts and such). Maybe someone should take a look at that. Maybe they aren't really serious.

Thanks Panzi.

When I ran 'make -j2 && sudo make install' I got the error:

CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:56 (FILE):
file INSTALL cannot find "/Users/acidking/HLLib/../lib/HLLib.h

So I tried to edit 'HLLib-build/cmake_install.cmake', to correct the path:

HLLib/../lib/HLLib.h
to
HLLib/HLLib.h

It worked, and then when I ran 'cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../HLExtract', I got this error:

CMake Error: The source "/Users/acidking/HLExtract/CMakeLists.txt" does not match the source "/Users/acidking/HLLib/CMakeLists.txt" used to generate cache. Re-run cmake with a different source directory.

What could be the problem?

Hello,
We are currently using hlextract to get bsp's from both the
half-life.gcf and the opposing force.gcf
hlextract is called from two batch files in the svencoop folder
Install_HLSP_Support.bat
Install_OpFor_Support

We released a beta Linux server for svencoop 4.6
Would like to write a shell script that will help server operators install HLSP and OpFor support in Linux

HLExtract using HLLib v2.3.0
Is there a newer version?
Is there a Linux version of HLExtract?

Thank You,

I've been working on an improved Linux version of HLLib and HLExtract; it is available on my github page. I'll try to keep it in sync with the upstream version of HLLib; if I don't, open an issue there.
